Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery in Tampa

Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery offers a specialized mini tummy tuck procedure designed to address stubborn lower abdominal fat and loose skin. This targeted body contouring technique provides patients with a refined abdominal appearance through a less invasive surgical approach.

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, focuses exclusively on the lower abdominal region beneath the belly button. By creating a small incision above the pubic area, the procedure removes excess skin and fat while minimizing scarring and recovery time compared to a standard tummy tuck.

Key Procedure Characteristics

Targets lower abdominal area exclusively
Smaller incision for reduced scarring
No belly button repositioning required
Shorter recovery period

Procedure Details

The mini tummy tuck procedure involves administering anesthesia, making a small incision above the pubic area, removing excess fat and skin, and closing the incision with sutures. Patients can expect minimal scarring and a quicker recovery compared to traditional abdominoplasty techniques.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a mini tummy tuck typically ranges from 6-8 weeks. Patients will wear a compression garment and can expect gradual reduction in swelling. Light activities like walking can be resumed within the first two weeks under medical guidance.
